After Pounding From Progressives, ALEC Backs Off Of Social Issues

“We are eliminating the ALEC Public Safety and Elections task force that dealt with non-economic issues, and reinvesting these resources in the task forces that focus on the economy. The remaining budgetary and economic issues will be reassigned,” ALEC’s chairman said in a statement. “While we recognize there are other critical, non-economic issues that are vitally important to millions of Americans, we believe we must concentrate on initiatives that spur competitiveness and innovation and put more Americans back to work.”

So, no more voter ID laws and Stand Your Ground laws written by and/or supported by multimillion/billion dollar corporations? Good. If only ALEC were banned all together from working with politicians.....
